Sunsail Mervede - just back and it was fab!

[Redwood]

Just back from sunsail mervede and it was so fab i thought I would offer tips to anyone going soon. Any questions answered!!

Glad you enjoyed it Redwood. We went to marverde last summer and are off to Pirelli in a few weeks.
DS (age 11) reckons the last 4 holdidays we have had with them have been the best ever. Cant say fairer than that.

i'm off there at the end of the month , have not been on holiday with Sunsail before and only booked yesterday so any tips greatly recieved. I am not taking children but is there anything you thing I need to take or shouldn't miss doing?

HI Redwood, I'm there in Sept. Can you tell me about the baby listening. I called them and they said they have two way radio things. I asked if there was enough for everyone and they said yes. So can you fill me in on how it worked and if it was as they said.

Thanks

joshandJamie, we used the monitors and it worked well we had a dinner on our own every evening for the two weeks!.
You get them from reception for £20 deposit, and you can do this as soon as you arrive or the next day. We tested it and it worked fine but you do need to put it quite close to the children,not just across the other side of the room. Lots of people were using them and it's close if you here them crying. Our children have never (and I mean never!) woken in the evening before 11 so we were very confident. They also ran a night creche in the childrens club on one evening where they happily fell asleep on big floor cushions after watching a video, this meant we could go out to a local retaurant. I will say if you want babysitting you need to book as soon as you get there aas this was very popular.
surreynanny, we went with the kids but I think it's an excellent holiday without them, very freindly and easy to learn new watersports if that's your thing. My Dh did wakeboarding and windsurfing.

THanks for that info. Feel a bit more confident now about using it. My mother is giving me hell about it basically saying that I'm awful for leaving them in a room unattended (and I know there's been lots of discussion on here about that too) but we've used baby listening before with no problem.

I uderstand people having worries, but we were confident about our children not waking up, and if they had and somehow silently got out of the room they could not have got anywhere dangerous before being spotted. I know some people think we are crazy but everyone has to decide for themselves.
